2022 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

I had Faux News and OAN personnel on mine, hoping for a plane crash to or from CPAC but it didn’t work.

Posted without snarky comment :frowning:

Damn. I really liked him, too.

From the beginning of January:

Goddamn it.

Yep. In everything.

Bruce Sutter, one of baseball’s premier relief pitchers, dies at 69.

According to the article, he was the first pitcher to enter the HOF without starting a game.

He played such a convincing image of poor health behaviors as Gustave LaRoche in Chef! that I almost find it hard to accept he made it this far.

In Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V he played Falstaff in a flashback.

I was mistaken, it was not Robbie Coltrane, it was some Englishman with a Hogarth nose.

You weren’t wrong in your impression though. Jeff Nuttall, who played Gustave LaRoche in 1996, was apparently in poor health and died in 2004 at the age of 70.

Man, that is insane. Not sure I saw much of the third season, but the Gustave LaRoche I am familiar with is a completely different person, who was born 7 months after Robbie Coltrane, rather than 19 years earlier, and is still around.

Yes, there were two different actors who played the character. Nuttall played him for six episodes in 1996. Ian McNeice, who is still alive at 72 (his birthday was two weeks ago), played the character for three episodes in 1994. This means McNeice was 44 and Nuttall was 63 when they appeared on the show.

Probably doesn’t mean anything, but Ringo just had COVID last week. Yeah, it probably doesn’t mean anything.

Canceling is a good idea. He shouldn’t have to shout or leap about.

According to the not-always reliable Showbiz News, actor Ted White, who played Jason in Friday the Thirteenth: The Final Chapter, dies peacefully at 96.

Maybe Ringo just has blisters on his fingers.

Former NFL player Antonio Dennard was shot and killed outside of a bar in Pennsylvania. He was 32.

Gemini and Apollo astronaut Jim McDivitt leaves seven points in orbit.
